ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To re-evaluate the morphological and functional recovery of conservative treatment of major renal injuries. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
We reviewed 68 patients admitted at our hospital due to major renal injury from Jan. 1991 to Dec. 1996. 33 of the 68 patients(48.5 percent) could be managed conservatively without surgery, All patients underwent follow-up abdominal CT and 12 of the 33 patients underwent DMSA renal scan at more than 3 months after injury.RESULTS:
The mean function of the injured kidneys in comparison with contralateral kidney was 88.3 percent in case of normal finding in follow-up abdominal CT scan.CONCLUSIONS:
We concluded that DMSA renal scan would be the valuable study for evaluation of the functional recovery of major renal injury.
